@ DNA question for you
much is said about filtering with the dna stage 2 filter , but what about the airbox one for the tenere , I'm fitting mine because I want the ten to be more alive without paying to much for a power commander etc , so I'm going with the stage 2-3 and kev mod ... but I'm a little bit afraid of taking this filter offroad , captmoto already answered me in a previous topics that there exists a gasket to block water to be accessed via the airbox filter into the airbox , but I can't find anything about it on the dna website ... secondly , if you use the filter for daily offroad use , will that work , I will I have to clean the filter after every ride you think ? Normally the side filter doesn't get so many splashes of mud and water , but I can not believe you guys made a filter for a offroad capable bike , but only to be used onroad ... |
I agree that having the side-panel filter exposed like that is going to attract more dirt - it's like the XR650R K&N filter, but the XR still has a side panel over it...
To be honest, I'm not sure how much of a gain you will get using the Stage 3 set-up (ie. replacement side panel) on the Tenere - not without a Power Commander, dyno set-up, new exhaust, removing the AIS and Lambda sensor etc etc etc. too? I'd also suggest that chasing the very last horsepower is really not what this bike is about, especially off road? For what it's worth, I have the DNA Stage 2 filter (that is the drum filter and open airbox lid/snorkle replacement), together with a PCV, SR exhaust and the AIS/Lambda removed... this is the set-up I rode to Dakar on the Heroes-Legend rally... simply changed/cleaned the drum filter every night - no problem. Performance wise, it's more than enough! Jx |

I'm pretty sure Kev has stated somewhere that you wouldn't be able to add anything like enough fuel using the Kev Mod to compensate for the massively increased air flow of the S3 filter. |

Sure the man will clear it up. |
I'm perfectly prepared for the possibility that I'm wrong.

well with the kev mod (latest one) turned to 9 and this side filter , the difference is huge ! yesterday I drove for about a half hour on the highway around 130km/u and the bike was running so smooth ! even on lower revs in town I don't have the feeling of being so nervous on the throttle meaning the bike responses much better when I slightly open throttle ... so for me it works out fine, haven't been offroad the past days as everywhere it's all deep mud now with the rain of the past days ... captmoto was talking about something DNA sell's as extra to seal the filter side for water etc , some I'm rather curious how this will look and when to get it , also mailed dna directly , awaiting their reply ... but serious I found it strange that so few people are using this filter while the difference is quite big ..., so I will be a serious guinny pig for DNA :) (or how to write that) |
I was thinking of fitting the stage 3, but after looking at the performance curves I figured that the main benefit over the Stage 2 was at higher revs so guessed that it would not benefit me off road or more importantly to me doing the touring, small roads kid of riding.
Would be interested to hear differently tho. Benefit over St 2 pulling at lower revs???? |
